Thousands entered the ballot for the 2025 Wimbledon Championships on Monday as tickets for the iconic tennis Grand Slam became available.
Fans were forced to wait in the queue for over an hour due to demand, despite the ballot not closing until 16 September.
Ticket prices for the Championships – this year won by Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova – range from £20, for the outside ground paces on finals weekend, to £315 for the best ballot seats at the finals.
Tickets for the Wimbledon men’s and women’s finals are priced the same and coincide with the equal prize money offered at the All England Club.
Spots on both Centre Court and No1 Court are being priced based on row, with those closer to the court more expensive.
The cheapest final ticket on Centre Court will set fans back £240 with £315 the most expensive ballot tickets.
Early ground passes remain at £30 for much of the two-week event.
For those who are unsuccessful in the ballot the traditional queue will still be in place in 2025.
Next year’s Championships will be the first since British legend Andy Murray retired from tennis with many calling for a court at the All England Club to be renamed after the Scot.
